AB1KW's radio pages

I recently (Oct 22 2009) became an active ham radio operator, running a Kenwood TS-930SAT transceiver into an 80 meter horizontal loop at about 15 meters high. This seems to work surprisingly well, having already contacted several countries in Europe, Africa and South America, with an occasional contact to elsewhere in the world.

AB1KW QSL

My QSL cards are printed and designed by UX5UO QSL print, who turned the idea in my head into a beautiful layout. The picture was taken near the top of Mt. Cannon, looking south-east into the Franconia Notch State Park. The star indicates my home QTH in the state of New Hampshire.

I QSL direct and via the bureau, replying to received QSL cards and sending cards to people who ask for them over the air. If you do not ask for a card and do not send one, I will QSL via eQSL and LOTW only.

Hi Rik,
thanks for the nice BPSK31 QSO.Unfortunately I forgot to switch to transmit on my final so you
did not copy me....Sorry...
I hope to see you on the bands and I am sending lot of warm greetings to the New Hampshire.
Best 73s and enjoy our nice hobby.
